Haven't tried this one out yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be on the safe side, the husband and I split it between the 2 of us (to be fair, they were charging $16 for the sandwich). On the not so safe side, since orders for that sandwich were backed up, we had as an appetizer the chocolate chip bread pudding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnia Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I feel so shamed...this year for Thanksgiving I... ... ... ...put aside my turkey leg and didn't eat it until Friday 'cause I was already full. What was wrong with me?! Anyhoo, the in-laws drafted me to make roasted butternut squash and that turned out well. Loaded it with honey, fresh ginger, cream, cinnamon, a dash of chili powder, black pepper, salt and butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hopcroft Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore In Portland, the legendary Sayler's Country Kitchen steakhouse has a 72-ounce steak that is free if you can finish it and all the trimmings in an hour. The success rate among people who have challenged the massive slab of dead cow is approximately 8% if I have my sums right. That's about four and a half pounds of beef in one sitting. Once one of my sisters commented it looked more like a roast than a steak (they have a mockup at the lobby entrance). Even their normal steaks tend to be pretty big. I've had a 16-ounce tenderloin there once (about twice the size of the standard filet mignon -- sorry, guys, no bacon wrapping this time).

Once with coworkers and it was ok, but not great. Second time with my wife, the one who went to culinary school (just graduated), they brought her steak and you could smell it rotting. It had been frozen/thawed/frozen at least one cycle. We never went there again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnia Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Changing gears slightly, has anyone worked with speck before? Specifically as a way to bard meat/poultry before roasting? Barding in cooking involves the wrapping of fat (usually bacon) around meat/poultry before roasting so it doesn't dry out. Nothing I've read so far tells me that it'd be a problem to use it in place of bacon, but I don't want to ruin or waste food -- especially since this year I might be roasting a pheasant for Xmas.

Cancer Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I've heard of lard being used, but whatever you use, you'll flavor your meat with it, assuming the fat source has a distinctive flavor. You can get away with bacon on beef (and I think I've heard of it used on venison) because red meats have a pretty strong flavor of their own. I've never had pheasant, so whether its flavor can stand up so that introduced by the added fat ... I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnia Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Well, the pheasant recipe I've got recommends the barding and it's also just seasoned simply with salt & black pepper. Speck is usually seasoned with juniper when it's cured, so transferring that flavor to the bird might be a possibility. However, that shouldn't be too much to worry about as I've got another recipe, this time for braising the pheasant with juniper berries, so the combination of the two is at least feasible.

Reminds me of when we had turducken a couple of years ago. A friend commented on how succulent the duck was. "Of course it is, it's meat roasted while stuffed with meat and wrapped in meat."

Patriot Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore IIRC, Speck is more along the lines of prosciutto. Usually drier and leaner than bacon. If your looking to get some of the flavor ...I might suggest under the skin with the speck, but I would still use bacon on the outside.

Are you familiar with that style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
